July 6 Cruise: Balancing Excursions with some Shopping.

[Mogoofy]

I have noticed that on Grand Cayman that we are tendered over to the Island at 7:20 am for our excursion but let we don't actually meet on the pier for the excursion until 1:40. I am assuming we can do some shopping from when we are dropped off until the excursion starts. If we do some shopping what do we do with the things we buy. Will the cm on the tender take the items back to our stateroom. Can we return to the ship with our purchases and then come back to the island? I really want to do some shopping but if we have to keep the items with us they may not fare very well while we are snorkling. Any answers to this problem. What have others done.

I highly doubt that a CM would take responsibility for your shopping purchases. You had better plan on tendering back to the ship to drop off your purchases. You will find prices run very high there.

If I were you, I would go shopping, tender back to this ship, and have lunch before you go snorkeling. just my two cents.

I know when your shopping at the parks at wdw they will have your packages delievered to your hotel room. We have done that before. Was just hopping of some kind of same arrangement.

no, I don't believe this is an option on the cruise.

DCL will definitely <i><b>not</b></i> accept delivery of your purchases.
